Do you have mushy volume buttons?

I just upgraded, to a 16 GB iPhone.
My 8GB had beautiful volume buttons. They were firm, and made a nice audible click, when you used them. My 16 GB phone has mushy buttons. They hardly make a sound when you push them, and there isn't much feedback, it just feels like it pushes in like a finger into bread or something, and it's harder to control how much you turn the volume up or down cause of this.
I've looked at some friends, they also have mushy ones.
Is that how most of them are now? Has anyone got a phone recently and hard solid firm volume buttons?
I'm going to live with mine, but I wish the quality from phone to phone wasn't so different.

My 8GB model seems to have buttons like the mushy ones you describe (no audible click or anything). I'd never used one without them, maybe it was some of the original batch of iPhones that had the clicky buttons? Mine was purchased right before the $200 price cut.

  • Does anyone else have sticking volume buttons on iPhone 4S?

    Ok, I've only had my 4S for 4 days after upgrading from the 3GS and now the up volume button is sticking. At first I thought it was the case I have it in, so I took it out. That didn't help. I can press the down volume button, but as soon as I let off, the volume will max out again. It happens for all the sounds and not just the ringer. Checking on the web, I saw the iPhone 4 has similar problems. You would have thought the newer models would have been corrected. Any ideas how to fix this on a new phone?

    Same here. Ive had my 4s since the 5th of January and I'm experiencing the same defect. I dont know if its technically a defect or not, but with everyday use I have managed to cause this model of the 4s to have this sticking effect.
    Called Verizon on this issue. Luckily I'm still under their newer warranty policy of 14 days! Verizon's tech support guided me through the same process that i previously followed. He eventually called Apple and they said there has been no issue regarding this type of complaint. Well i have a video of this happening multiple times at hand if need be.
    Love Apple and have been treating this new iDevice like precious cargo. Its strange that normal tare and where would result in this way.
    I dont know how to fix it permanently. Sorry. My only advice is to get the protection plan now, if all else fails.

  • Do you hear the volume button click at the end of a video?

    when I use the volume button to start/stop a video, the start is fine however when used to stop there is a very noticeable "click" when stopping.
    Seems like a software bug as if there is a lag between pushing stop (and having the mechanical "click" loud click in the audio) and the actual end of record.
    does not happen when you use the traditional screen button...

    chances are they are from a fade.  have you zoomed in really really close and checked if there is a small fade in or fade out?  happens to me all the time, and with the fade out, you can't do anything to fix it (that I've found) except replacing the clip from your Browser.  See my similar question here:

    Hope that helps.

  • My sound buttons do not work and neither does my speaker also I do not have the volume button on the volume bar for iTunes or any videos

    I have tried all of the options on this site so far and others. My volume bar does not show up on any apps or videos not even when I double click and go to the left. The mute is not on. I have resented plenty of times. But if I turn off my iPad let it sit and plug my charger cord into it. When it turns on for a split second the speaker works making the charging noise but then quits and I'm going nuts trying to find out why it just stopped working!?!?!.!.

    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup...  Restore as New...
    Restart / Reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Backing up, Updating and Restoring
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the iPad Off... ( if it isn’t already )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    Turn the iPad On...
    If you try all these Steps and you still have issues...
    Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
    Be sure to make an appointment first...

  • IOS 5: why not have both volume buttons operate camera?

    I think it would be so much better than only the volume up button serving to operate the shutter. Because when you hand your phone to someone who isn't familiar with an iPhone, it would be so much easier to just say "hit either round button" than "hit the round button with the + sign".
    Yeah, it's a minor point, but something that would be simple to implement and it doesn't seem to have any drawbacks to it. I don't recall the volume down button having any other double duties.

  • Do you have a favorites button like internet explorer?

    I want to be able to click one button to show all my favorites

    Firefox calls them bookmarks. There are several methods of viewing organising and completing bookmarks tasks.

    **[[How do I delete a bookmark?]]
    The bookmarks library shows the whole lot, it also in fact shows downloads and History. The bookmarks library has folders and you may add more folders or subfolders. The bookmarks toolbar folder displays on the bookmarks toolbar. Excess content overflows and shows in the right edge. If folders are added they generate drop down lists of bookmarks, or bookmarks folders.
    The bookmarks may also be displayed as a sidebar. Or as a dropdown from the bookmarks icon - that's the icon next to the bookmarks star.
    Also note you may use the locationbar aka addressbar to find bookmarks
    * [[Awesome Bar - Find your bookmarks, history and tabs when you type in the address bar]]
    There are keyboard shortcuts to open the library and sidebar Ctrl+B for instance.

  • You have a BUY button and then take me to your adobe cloud page where I can't just buy it but have to pay in a plan to use it. You don't even have it as a single app. What Gives? Your new cloud purchase app is terrible. I don't want it bundled with Photos

    I really can see why many are annoyed and frustrated with your new buying method. Are you trying to lose faithful customers of the past and those of the present. I really hope you get an insight into what you are really doing.

    Can I just point out that if Adobe really felt that a wholesale move to the subscription model was the only way to go in terms of the bottom line, there's absolutely nothing whatsoever to stop them from shutting the door on the stand-alone version right now.
    No offence, but I find this conspiracy theory stuff pretty tedious really: Adobe doesn't need to "hide" the stand-alone in order to drive us all into the arms of CC - they could just scrap it. But they haven't, and it's not that hard to find, so the whole premise that what we're seeing is some sort of "strategy" intended to force us all onto CC, just doesn't wash.

  • If you have a volume license for cs3, can you just upgrade the indesign to indesign 5

    also is cs3 compatible with windows 7
    /64 bit

    CS3 is compatible with windows 7 / 64 bit?
    I use it every day (although I think that my high-volume CS3 client just upgraded to CS5 this week), and I've had no problems whatsoever.

  • IPad4 volume button appears to have suddenly gone bad, will not increase volume. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    My iPad4 lives in a smart case, it never even goes out of the house. I baby it to be honest. So why, I ask you, did the volume button suddenly stop working? I tried all the suggested software and general settings I could find but it appears to be a hardware issue. I hope I'm wrong. I can decrease volume down to mute without effort but the volume 'up' function is totally kaputt. Maybe somebody has experienced this problem and found a solution? I'm bummed that my (otherwise) perfect little iPad now has an annoying flaw. - Thank you

    I would also suggest RMA for that. You can contact support at http://us.creative.com//support/custsup/

  • External volume buttons stopped changing the volume

    I've been using my iPhone 3G without incident since the summer, but all of a sudden in the last couple of days (I guess since the most recent firmware update), the side volume buttons have stopped changing the volume - ringer, speaker, anything. If I push the up or down volume control, the volume indicator window flashes up as normal, it shows my current volume level, then it raises the volume level (both the displayed level and the actual sound coming out of the phone) for about a tenth of a second, then it goes back to the previous level. I can change the volume using any of the normal touchpad controls, only the side buttons don't work.
    Is this simply a setting that I switched on by accident - a volume lock that I don't know about? I can't seem to find anything in my settings, but would really appreciate any insight into what's going on.
    Many thanks,
    --Chris

    Hello TheDes,
    Welcome to the Discussions Boards.
    Since you can see the volume changing when you use the volume button, it is relatively unlikely that it is a hardware issue. If it was a physical switch failure, the window wouldn't appear and show the change even briefly. It is more likely a software-based issue, such as a data file or preference file on the iPhone that is not updating properly.
    If you're using a case on the iPhone, remove the case and test.
    Try resetting the iPhone by holding down both the sleep/power button and the home button together until you see the Apple logo (ignore the "Slide to Power Off" prompt). Test.
    If the reset does not resolve, you may need to backup and restore the iPhone:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Before connecting the iPhone, launch iTunes.
    From the Edit Menu (Windows) or the iTunes Menu (Mac) select Preferences
    Select the Devices tab or icon.
    Put a check mark in the "Disable Automatic Syncing for iPods and iPhones" box.
    OK the Preferences window.
    Connect the iPhone.
    If you have music or APPs that you have not synced to iTunes, choose "Transfer Purchases from xxxxxiPhone" from the File Menu to backup purchased content to iTunes.
    Right-click (or control-click) the iPhone under Devices in the left column of iTunes and choose "Backup" to create a fresh backup of the iPhone.
    After the backup is complete, in the Summary tab of the iPhone, click on the Restore button.
    At the end of the restore process, choose to setup as a new phone.
    For testing, do not sync any Applications to the iPhone (you can sync them back later).
    Test.
    If the issue is resolved, you can sync your data back to the iPhone.
    You can also right-click the iPhone and choose "Restore from backup," but if the issue was caused by some data on the iPhone that was backed up, the issue may return when you sync you backup data to the iPhone.
    If you normally sync your iPhone automatically, you can uncheck the box that disables automatic syncing mentioned above.
    Hope that helps,
    Charles H.

  • Volume buttons loose

    I notice my volume buttons are slightly loose. I went to the apple store and almost every iPhone 4 on display had either the lock/unlock or home or volume buttons loose...I only have the volume button. I would hate to swap it and get one with the home button loose.
    Any one else with volume button loose?

    What constitutes a loose VOLUME button and not a HOME button is when you move it up and down it feels loose instead of being rock solid like I have seen on some iP4...and I find it annoying. Some would not...call it OCD if you like but I don't like it. Now the thing is that I know there are more people having issues with HOME loose button which is worse in my opinin so I would hate exchanging mine and get solid VOLUME button but loose HOME or ON/OFF buttons!

  • On how many computers can you use a volume license?

    Our organization purchased AOO (Adobe Open Options) volume licensing and asked for 6 Mac licenses. We were given 2 licenses for Mac and 2 licenses for Windows. Does anyone here know if the licenses are interchangeable for Mac and Windows? Do you know how many times you can enter the same license into a different computer? Any help would be great. Thank you!

    I ended up speaking with Customer Support and for volume licensing, you can install the CS3 software on as many computer systems on a network as you'd like.
    You are only limited to operating the CS3 software up to the maximum number of licenses your organization purchased.
    So if you have 10 volume licenses you can install the CS3 software on 100 Mac and/or PC systems if you'd like, but can only use the CS3 software on 10 of those systems simultaneously.
    The confusing part is they still only give you one or two license key numbers...
    If you have a normal consumer license you can only install the software on two separate computer systems, period. And you cannot use the CS3 software on moth systems at the same time.
    Thanks again.

  • Sound is not working properly ? The volume button keeps saying sound effects when it's pressed .

    Sound is not working at all now , when you press the volume button it says sound effects but nothing is happening

    Hello Hartnett01,
    Thank you for the details you provided regarding your audio issue you are experiencing on your iPad.  I found a couple of resources that I think might help. 
    First, I recommend following steps in the following tutorial to address an issue like this (you can skip step 2 "Recharge iPad" because it's not related to this issue):
    Frozen or unresponsive iPad
    https://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/ipad/
    If the issue persists, I recommend reviewing this article next (the title of the article refers to an iPhone, but the steps still apply to an iPad):

  • I dont have a volume on my ipad 3

    i dont have volume i dont have a volume button on the main menue

    Did your video keep playing? I know when I have angry birds open it won't let my iPad to go sleep like it's supposed to. If your video kept playing in a closed in environment then that could account for the battery loss and heat collection.
